Being that we are raising our first garden, I was talking to my grandpa about it's progress. He used to farm a lot and has a lot of input for me....
Well, one thing that he didn't pay much attention to that his dad did was make pumpkin wine. Grandpa claims that his dad would cut a round hold in the top edge of a pumpkin and then stuff it (with he'd guess) 4lbs of brown sugar. Then, g-grandpa would put the plug back in it and let it continue growing on the vine.
Grandpa said, "Now I never did drink but I know dad made it and it tasted really good. I don't know if it had alcohol in it or not."
Have you heard of it? I haven't tried a google search.
Do you think it would ferment?
How many lbs of brown sugar do you use?
Do you put it in a month, week, couple of days before they're ready to pick?
I may try this next year. I think I've missed the pumpkin growing season here in Ohio, haven't I? At least for Halloween?
